Jewelry

I know that I'm a diamond But you don't gotta treat me like one I know I shine like platinum And I'm about as real as they come And I don't like the way you're doing me You wear me then you put me away Can't come out until you want me And I can't let you keep it this way I don't like the way that you be shining me You be treating me like jewelry Then you turn around and you stash me You be treating me like jewelry I don't like the way that you be shining me You be treating me like jewelry Then you turn around and you stash me You be treating me like jewelry This has become a problem You watch me like you're security You place me under lock and key Like someone's gonna run away with me You keep the same old stories You say that you're protecting me But you only worry how long before you lose me I don't like the way that you be shining me You be treating me like jewelry Then you turn around and you stash me You be treating me like jewelry I don't like the way that you be shining me You be treating me like jewelry Then you turn around and you stash me You be treating me like jewelry You make me feel like I'm your jewelry I'm not your jewelry, don't put me on display You make me feel like I'm your property Why don't you show me some respect So now make your decision Do you think that you could untie my hands You know that you'd be stressing If you were no longer my man And there's no combination I can leave you anytime that I choose So if you don't believe me I guess you will just look like a fool I don't like the way that you be shining me You be treating me like jewelry Then you turn around and you stash me You be treating me like jewelry I don't like the way that you be shining me You be treating me like jewelry Then you turn around and you stash me You be treating me like jewelry You make me feel like I'm your jewelry You make me feel like I'm your jewelry
